1) Please follow our forum guidelines. I suggest re-reading them, they ask that you edit your previous post if nobody has responded when you want to post again.

2) Please report exact error messages. It sounds like you may not have properly extracted the rockbox.zip file.

No, Llorean said to report the exact error messages. Please follow the requests if you wish to get any help.

I don't know. As I said, exact error messages are helpful. If you've extracted them improperly, doing the same thing again won't help because you're doing something wrong. If you're doing it right, then you shouldn't need to do it again. What exactly did you do? Where are the .codec files located on your player, exactly?

in the codec folder?
there are no files
hm....i MUST have extracted wrong or something


*edit* i re-extracted rockbox, and the codecs are all working
but now none of the .rock files work
when i try to open them it says
"incompatible model"
